LOS ANGELES, CA: The primary enemy of the 'Super Mario' series, Bowser, commonly referred to as King Koopa, rules the badlands of the Mushroom Kingdom and his height ranges between 2 feet to 10 feet, according to different sources.

Raised by Kamek, a Magikoopa who would shortly become his royal advisor, Bowser was brought up on Yoshi's Island. Even though Bowser was one of the seven Star Children destined for greatness, he chose to become a villain and grew ever more repulsive as he grew older.

The fans of the 'Super Mario' series have always been curious to know the exact height of Bowser. They have even shared their views on social media platform X.

A user wrote, "Bowser's height varies a lot between games, though he's usually around like 8 feet tall in the mainline 3D games and some of the 2D games."

Another user mentioned, "Someone, PLEASE explain to me Bowser's height sometimes LMAO! Sometimes he is a giant, others he is not."



 



 

Is Bowser taller than Luigi?

Luigi is a fictional character in the 'Super Mario' series and his height ranges between 5 feet to 6 feet and is shorter than Bowser, according to different sources. Sometimes he is shown taller than Bowser whereas at times he is shorter.

Along with his brother Mario, Luigi was destined for greatness from birth as one of the seven Star Children. Luigi was raised in the Mushroom Kingdom with his brother.

A stork delivered Mario and Luigi to their parents when they were infants, carrying them in suitcases. However, Kamek's rush towards the twins caused the stork to drop them.

On Yoshi's Island, Mario and the stork were dropped off of Yoshi's back, and Kamek abducted Luigi. In order to save Luigi and the stork from being taken hostage, Yoshi and Mario made the decision to cooperate.

Is Bowser shorter than Mario?

Mario is the title character of the Mario franchise whose height varies from 4 feet 6 inches (140cm) to 5 feet 1 inch (155 cm) and is shorter than Bowser, according to sources

Mario is portrayed as a plump plumber who resides in the made-up Mushroom Kingdom with his younger, taller brother Luigi. While the television shows and movies identified Mario and Luigi as native Brooklynites, the original Mario Bros series portrayed Mario and Luigi as Italian immigrants living in New York.

The earliest illustration of Mario's early years, when he was carried to the Mushroom Kingdom by a stork, appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. In a 2005 interview, Miyamoto claimed that Mario was around 24 to 25 years old in terms of physical age, and October 11 is his birthday, according to Nintendo Power.

Although he was a carpenter in the original Donkey Kong games, Mario now works as a plumber.
